1To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

1 All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout untoGod with the voice of triumph!

2For Jehovah Most High <FI>is<Fi> fearful, A great king over all the earth.

2 For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

3He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

3 He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.

4 He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

5God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

5 God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

6Praise God--praise--give praise to our king, praise.

6 Sing psalms ofGod, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

7For king of all the earth <FI>is<Fi> God, Give praise, O understanding one.

7 ForGod is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

8God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

8 God reigneth over the nations;God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9Nobles of peoples have been gathered, <FI>With<Fi> the people of the God of Abraham, For to God <FI>are<Fi> the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!

9 The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of theGod of Abraham. For untoGod [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
